Professional Saver Insurance for Information Bureaus


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As an information bureau, having the right insurance is crucial to protect you when advising clients on data handling and disclosure. Our policies provide protection if your oversight leads to financial loss for a client.

For example, flawed advice on confidential data retention policies exposes sensitive information. We cover legal costs and compensation pay-outs so you can work with confidence.

Why Information Bureaus Need Insurance:

As an information bureau, your reports directly inform important decisions, legal cases and more. Just one error leading to significant loss or litigation could leave you facing substantial pay-outs without adequate insurance.

Our policies give you complete peace of mind that your insurer will deal with any disputes, injuries or financial loss claims caused by your services.

Our information bureau policies can protect against:

Public Liability
